Louisville Family Animal Hospital: Van Deventer Ami DVM

My friend and I have recently started taking our ferrets to LFAH since our long-tem vet has recent retired. We have both been extremely happy to find a vet who has experience with ferrets/surgeries. Dr. Colllins has demonstrated his interest and dedication to state-of-the-art ferret medicine, including the use of Deslorelin implants for treatment of ferret adrenal disease. Further more, my friend's ferret came into the hospital in EXTREMELY rough shape on an emergency basis. Dr. Collins was able to stabilize the ferret and remove a large obstruction/hairball from the gut thus saving the ferret's life. We have also been impressed with Dr. Collins' sensitivity toward the ferret's individual needs. He avoids stressing the animals with diagnostic procedures unless he feels the procedure is necessary. more

This is probably the best Vet I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The facility is warm and inviting and the staff is great! They took the time to answer all of my questions and were very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a veterinary hospital to call "home" this is the place! more

We took our dog to LFAH for many, many years. Dr. Collins is very knowledgeable and friendly and good with animals. They always took good care of our pup. The only drawbacks at this place were: 1) it seemed there was a fairly high rate of turnover in the staff (besides the main dr.); and, 2) I could rarely get out of there for under $200 - and that's with a healthy pet! I think the vet industry in general gouges clients on med prices, so this place is probably no worse than the others. If you can buy meds online instead, you can save a lot of money. Parking and access is very easy and it's a nice building with a comfortable waiting room - and even a play area for kids. more
